Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

"Who is Gu Yan's biological father?" Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Shuang, hoping to get an answer from her. However, in the face of everyone's eager questioning, Ye Shuang kept her lips tightly shut and said nothing. Seeing this, someone suggested: "Since Ye Shuang is unwilling to say, then the only way we can do now is to get a paternity certificate."

Hearing this, Ouyang Li was stunned at first, clearly not fully understanding the meaning. However, Gong Jin, standing nearby, quickly caught on. He nodded and said calmly, "Okay, I'll handle the relevant matters. After all, this matter is not simple. If what I said is proven to be true..." At this point, Gong Jin paused, his eyes growing more serious.

At this moment, He Li, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly frowned. He knew very well that if the truth of this matter was as Ouyang Li had described, then Ye Shuang would be in great trouble. Because once it was confirmed that Gu Yan was related to Ming Yuan and Liu Niannian, then Ye Shuang's previous actions would undoubtedly constitute a crime.

Seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, Ye Shuang seemed to realize that no matter how much she persisted, it would be futile. Finally, as if she had figured it out, she slowly stood up and looked around at everyone present.

Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Don't bother with that. Gu Yan is actually Ming Xixi. She is the illegitimate daughter of Ming Yuan and Liu Niannian."

As soon as Ye Shuang finished speaking, the entire room fell into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned by this sudden news.

Illegitimate daughter, the meaning of these three words is self-evident.

"What do you mean by illegitimate daughter?"

Gu Yan had just learned about her life experience, but now she was labeled as an illegitimate daughter. She really couldn't understand it.

Ouyang Li, who was standing by, quickly explained, "Mingyuan and Nian Nian are not husband and wife. Mingyuan forced Nian Nian into a relationship. Nian Nian is Huo Jin's wife."

At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Ming Luoluo and Huo Bingci walked in side by side.

What's even more coincidental is that Ming Yuan, Liu Niannian, and Huo Jin, whom Ye Shuang just mentioned, are exactly Ming Luoluo and Huo Bingci's biological parents! For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense, as if a storm was about to come.

Huo Bingci widened his eyes and looked at Gu Yan in astonishment, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

At that moment, the words she heard exploded in her mind like a blockbuster bomb. If she heard correctly, the girl in front of her who was about the same age as her was actually her half-sister!

At the same time, Ming Luoluo was also stunned. She was always outspoken and did not hide her inner shock and confusion. She looked straight at Ouyang Li and asked with a voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Aunt, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that Gu Yan is my biological sister? And she is the child of my father and another woman? This... How is this possible! From childhood to adulthood, I have always had only one mother!"

Ouyang Li obviously hadn't expected things to develop to this point. She waved her hands in a panic, trying to calm the two emotional girls. Then she slowly said, "Niannian is not some outside woman. She is actually your mother. It's just that you and Xixi were both born out of wedlock. Because of this, your father has never had other women by his side for so many years. He has always loved only your mother. But this deep love has also destroyed your mother."

The person who was most distraught and at a loss at the moment was probably Gu Yan. At this moment, He Li, who was standing by and watching coldly, inadvertently caught the complex emotions that were difficult to conceal on Gu Yan's face.

He knew in his heart that he should no longer have anything to do with her, let alone show any concern for her. However, emotions are often the most difficult to control rationally. Although he tried hard to convince his restless heart, it was ultimately in vain.

"Forget it! There's no point in arguing endlessly here. The most urgent thing is to find the person involved in the incident as soon as possible."

At the critical moment, it was Gong Jin who stood up to turn the tide and made a decision in an unquestionable tone, temporarily calming the escalating farce.

After some discussion, the important task of contacting Ming Yuan naturally fell on Ming Luoluo's shoulders.

After all, Ming Yuan was her biological father, and Gu Yan was her biological sister. It made perfect sense for her to handle the matter in every way.

At the same time, after learning about this situation, Huo Bingci did not dare to delay at all. He contacted Huo Shucheng as soon as possible and told his father Huo Jin the whole story.

Just as everyone was packing up their things and preparing to step out of the room to leave, Gu Yan, the central figure in the incident, who had been silent all the time, finally broke the silence and slowly opened her slightly pale lips.

"Wait, Mr. He, please stay for a moment, I want to talk to you." Although Gu Yan's voice was not loud, it was firm and unquestionable.

Hearing this, He Li stopped moving forward.

He knew very well that some things could not be avoided after all, and what had to be faced had to be faced. So, he turned around, looked at Gu Yan quietly, nodded, and agreed to stay.

Gong Jin, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately understood what he meant.

He knew that at this moment, he should give the two of them some space to be alone so that they could communicate frankly. So, he gently patted He Li's shoulder, then quietly left the room and closed the door behind him.

As the door gently closed, the originally noisy ward instantly became silent.

The silence at this moment seemed to freeze the air, and even the two people's slight breathing sounds seemed particularly clear and audible at this moment.

Gu Yan took a deep breath, as if mustering up her courage, and spoke first, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Yes, how could it not be? He Li sighed secretly in his heart.

His heart was like the surging waves of the ocean, with a thousand words he wanted to tell Gu Yan. However, he couldn't speak them out loud, and he didn't dare to ask them easily.

Because the doctor who was responsible for treating Gu Yan had already clearly told him that Gu Yan's physical condition was extremely weak, as fragile as a candle in the wind, and could not withstand even the slightest stimulation or blow.

Moreover, Ye Shuang had just revealed Gu Yan's unknown life story in front of so many people. It was conceivable that even at this moment, Gu Yan might still be unable to recover from this sudden shock.

"Gu Yan... no, Xiao Xiao, perhaps from now on, I should call you that." This was the first time in He Li's life that he addressed Gu Yan as "Xiao Xiao." This action clearly indicated that he had completely let go. For Gu Yan's safe and sound existence, he was willing to forgo his own happiness. After all, no matter who Gu Yan ultimately ended up with, she would have a fulfilling life of her own.

Gu Yan instantly understood the other person's intentions after hearing these words. The many words that were about to burst out of her mouth seemed to be locked tightly by an invisible seal, deeply hidden in the depths of her heart.

"Mr. He finally called me by the right name. There was a long time when even I almost believed that I was not the real Gu Yan. However, today, one truth after another has come to light, and they all shout loudly: Facts are ultimately better than any eloquence!" Gu Yan raised his face slightly, looking directly at He Li with a firm and clear gaze.

He Li nodded gently, agreeing with Gu Yan. Then, he spoke softly, "Rest assured, I will not disturb your peaceful life. Gong Jin is a rare and kind person, and your wedding is only a short fortnight away. When that time comes, I will certainly offer my sincerest blessings." He Li's lips curled up slightly, a smile that was bitter yet full of relief.

He said he would give his blessing, and Gu Yan felt her heart ache. She clearly didn't remember any of the past memories between them, but when she heard He Li's blessing, she still wanted to cry.

However, the strong self-esteem deep in Gu Yan's heart is like an indestructible line of defense, guarding her last dignity tightly, and never allowing herself to show the slightest vulnerability and helplessness in front of outsiders.

So, she forced herself to cheer up and tried to make her voice sound calm and firm. "Thank you very much, Mr. He. I will patiently await your blessing. But now, I really feel a little tired. Please leave first."

When she heard the other party had given such a clear answer, the emotional entanglements that had been buried deep in Gu Yan's heart, as complicated as a tangled thread, seemed to have finally found a home at this moment and were settled.

He Li didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly to indicate his agreement. Then, he slowly turned around and walked towards the door silently with slightly heavy steps.

Seeing him about to open the door and step out of the room, Gu Yan finally couldn't suppress the surging emotions in her heart and blurted out, "Is your foot... really okay?"

Recalling the thrilling scene that day, the bullet went straight through He Li's knee like lightning, and blood splattered everywhere.

After the doctor's diagnosis, they said that if he wanted to fully recover, he had to go abroad to receive the most advanced surgical treatment, and time was running out, so it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

However, unexpectedly, He Li rejected the proposal without hesitation.

Because in his opinion, if he became a cripple with limited mobility, then his mother might no longer force him to participate in those boring blind date activities.

What's more, now even Gu Yan has left him. For He Li at this moment, everything in the world seems to have become unimportant.
